First Image of Josh Brolin as Cable in Deadpool 2

Ryan Reynolds seems set on ruining everything for everyone. Only last week, he spoilered what Zazie Beetz would look like as Domino, and now he’s gone and inadvertently posted images of Josh Brolin as Cable. Well, since they’re out there already, here they are.

Brolin, who we learned back in April would be playing the robotic-armed future offspring of Scott Summers and Jean Gray, is obviously up to his eyeballs as big bad Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and its untitled sequel, so this is likely a concept rather than Brolin in his actual final costume. From the images released, it looks like we can expect a slightly more grounded version of the character than how he first appeared in the comics, a costume that would win Shoulderpads and Pouches Magazine’s Best Dressed Man of the Year award in perpetuity. Though he does have a teddy bear on his belt, so who knows how close to the comics the plot will go. This is a Deadpool movie so there could be a Bollywood dance number and it’d all make a kind of sense.

The only thing that wouldn’t make sense is how Cable could even move with these arms.
